Yes I said Goddess, which was another word for Amazon back in Greek Mythology. So sitting here sipping my coffee, green face mask, and blue black dye in my hair I come to the realization that many woman do not understand my meaning behind.........CALLING ALL AMAZONS! Well before I go into my explanation of why I created this movement, I will enlighten you with a little history lesson on the amazon woman..........
"That comes through in the artworks and literature about Amazons. The Greeks were both fascinated and appalled by such independent women. They were so different from their wives and daughters. Yet there was a fascination. They were captivated by them. Pictures of Amazons on vase paintings always show them as beautiful, active, spirited, courageous, and brave.
I talked to a vase expert whose specialty is gestures on Greek vases. He has written an article about gestures begging for mercy in single combat images. Quite a few of the losers in duels are shown gesturing for mercy. But among Amazons, not so much. We have about 1,300 or so images of Amazons fighting. And only about two or three of them are gesturing for mercy. So they're shown to be extremely courageous and heroic. And I think that's the Amazon spirit" (Worrall, 2014).
Now wether or not you believe in this myth, it is definitley something that embodies the feminine spirit. You see, when I talk about your fitness journies I am referring to your lifestyle, to your heart, mind, and soul. The need to be healthy stems from our sense of self, and how we portray who and what we want to be! I know, your probably like WHOA, this fitness lady is all ooey gooey right now, and trust me no its not that time hahahah.
No I am not a feminist, but I am a realist. Over the years most of my clients have been woman (8 years!!), but why? I have come to the conclusion that its because we forget to find our inner amazon spirit. From the single mom working three jobs to the married woman who can barely find time to do her makeup. From the single woman who is so indpendent men find her intimidating to the woman with bigger muscles than her male coworker so she gets called a man. The thing is we play so many roles and have so much to offer, but sometimes we get stuck in the mentality of "this is it." NO IT IS NOT! You are beautiful and capable of so much, just like the Amazonian woman described in Greece. You are strong, beautiful, dirty, dedicated, smart, noble, and so much more.
